Growing on Games

[Hero]

Here's the deal: we're making layouts for a magazine that's supposed to represent us. So the cover has the student name and it plus three spreads are supposed to revolve around one aspect/hobby/trait that we have.

Being a dork and given the fact I grew up on (and with) videogames, I decided to throw out these roughs:

A charicature of me looking around piles of games. The top header is supposed to mimic the PlayStation 2 font.

Me and Link. This would be the start of growing up with games - I literally was weaned on 8-bit stuff, Zelda being the most memorable game of my childhood. This is why the characters look so young.

Round 1? Fighting against Ryu - as an adolescent I grew up heavily on fighting games, Street Fighter 2 being the my favorite. So as the games got more complex in graphics and gameplay I was also maturing. Make your jokes now.

SNAKE! *ahem* Games have finally reached a level of Hollywood-appeal, can reach the mainstream and have acheived a sort of adulthood. Which brings us to the now - plus my unusual fascination with MGS.

So that's the concept, more or less. I hope to bump this with further revisions as I work the layouts over the next two weeks. Any feed back is welcome.

Sadly, the links don't work. Is there supposed to be a ... after kcamero2?

Thanks rezo! I was up way late last night and forgot that copying and pasting links from other forums isn't the best idea.

geheh. Twice. Hero, maybe you should edit the links into the first post for the kids that are easily confused. =\

Where are you putting the text in the MGS pic?
